who is barack obama? do you think we fully understand who barack obama is? do you? >> if anybody does, you would. >> no. i am asking do you? [laughter] >> of course. we want to know more about the people we cover. >> do you think there is -- do you find elements of mystery or uncertainty in his actions and personality? >> of course. it is fascinating. >> may be in him, you covered george w. bush and wrote four books on him. there was not a lot of mystery about what bush felt. >> he was a gut player. >> yes. as he said, his job was to put some calcium in the spine. >> but i think obama is a little bit more of an uncertain figure. quite frankly, i think when he writes his own autobiography, about his time as president and there is more excavation of all of this, we are going to discover that he is working it out as he plays of the game. and as somebody with a little bit more experience, under their belt might not be doing that. >> some of the comments you made about president obama, including what you just said, there seems to be a subtext that you are a little bit di

it's clear obama wants to go in that direction. he's talking about this big -- doing a fiscal solution whether now or later some time this year. he's talking about immigration reform. has another set of agenda items. let's think about this for the state of the union. you can hear in his voice some different things already. he's drawing firmer red lines. in public, even tonight when he talked, there's a little more steel, a little more firmness than what he said. zpwoin that because he has this mandate he talks about. he said his mandate wasn't his mandate. it was the american people. he also said in the last few days that he didn't want to surrender to the status quo. does he have the ump to follow that? >> you can see he has more leverage. where it starts and stops, i don't think they know yet. he's reading about other presidents an then overread their mandate. he didn't want to make that mistake either because that can happen. because even if obama has changed as a result of this, it's not clear that a lot else has changed or tha
